i'm desiging a simple mold for a silicon part, the mold will be a two part mold with a base that has a cavity and a cover that will close the mold.
i designed the rubber part and i wanted to use the combine feature to substract the part from a block i draw around it. the problem is that when i do that, combine is gray and can't be used. when i draw the block near the rubber part (without them touching) i can use the combine feature but off course it is not useful this way.
the rubber part is made out of around 50 features. could that be the reason i can't use combine? does it need only single features? like two extruded boides but nothing more complex?
how can i substract the complex part from a block of material?
thanks!
